Parana means breaking the Ekadashi fast. It is usually done after sunrise on Dwadashi, avoiding Hari Vasara.

Ekadashi observance is checked against the fasting date resolved from local sunrise, tithi timing, Dwadashi availability for Parana, Hari Vasara, and tradition-specific rules. That is why the answer can differ by city.
